About Me

I'm married to my college sweetheart and we're raising two energetic boys! Can anyone relate to that? When I'm not home, I'm usually volunteering my time at our church or school. When I am home, I enjoy long walks with our dog and time with my family. My favorite hobby is rubber stamping and I love it when a card comes together just so. Whatever I do, I try to do my beary best! :)

I am so excited to show you my project today! I usually like to stay in my {comfort zone} and that's making cards. But this week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge is to make anything BUT a card with a fairy, butterfly or angel. I followed a tutorial on Splitcoast for making a Gable Box and totally {heart} how it turned out! And it was even pretty easy to make! {LOL} For some more fluttery 3D creations, be sure to check out the links on my sidebar for the Flutterby Team!

Today is also a review day for Paper Makeup Stamps May Release and I am featuring one of the Beautiful Day Fairies named Natalie on my box. She has been available as a digi stamp and is now released as a rubber stamp too. I have colored her in my nieces' favorite colors for her upcoming 10th birthday and filled her box with these yummy chocolate hearts. {grin} And of course Natalie had to have red hair just like hers. With the Build a Sentiment set, I was even able to stamp a personalized tag for her gift. Be sure to check out the PMS Blog for some more fabby creations by the Makeup Artists with the new stamps!

I know I get here so infrequently, but I just happened to skim through the PMS email that popped into my box this morning (another thing I don't always do) and this box caught my eye as something Abby would like and then your name caught my eye under it and I just had to smile and pop over and leave a comment. She will love it! Great box and image and totally Abby :-)
